Amidst the COVID panic, technology is contributing immensely to the healthcare sector. Extensive research has been imparted to explore the possibilities to strengthen the healthcare sector with the help of technology, especially IoT.
It's really a piece of common knowledge that the rise in usage has created smart homes, manufacturing facilities, and smart factories.
And in the health-sector, the internet of things has been applied to connect available resources. Thereby the health experts can provide effective, reliable, and responsive services.
Such an application has increased in times of corona spread. Thereby the health experts were able to cut short the direct interaction with the patients and were able to break the chain.
The IoT is flagging the way for healthcare utilization to create a connected medical infrastructure, empower patient monitoring, and improve systems.
From virtual doctor discussions to predicting health issues, the internet of things could soon reconstruct the panorama in addressing healthcare.
The technology buzzword is used to define the network of connected devices and some of its most pertinent use cases are in the medical arena.
Gloria Zaionz, a tech guru at the Innovation Learning Network believes smart technology could supply the data that improves healthcare information systems, lay the groundwork for a connected health ecosystem, and enable doctors to remotely monitor patients.
The same technology has been used to tackle the COVID spread.
IoT services along with cloud and AI is putting in a great effort in this direction. According to the scholars, overlaying geographic information systems in mobile devices can help the epidemiologists in their search for patient zero and can help to identify the people who came in contact with the patients.
Some Chinese hospitals are using connected thermometers to monitor the temperature of the patients. Smart wearable devices are helping to monitor the human body's vital signals in real-time with minimum effort.
